1989281 pages. Future historians may well agree that Martin Exeter led one of the great lives of the twentieth century. He shaped circumstance through the transcendance of the ordinary human condition. At the age of 21 he left the life of the British aristocracy and moved to the Cariboo region of British Columbia where he honed the strength of character that would eventually make him a source of inspiration to thousands of people worldwide. He founded the town of 100 Mile House B.C. and went on to lead a body of people known as the Emissaries to what could be called today an unprecedented force for the spiritual restoration of the planet.
